Found this OSM decision while I was searching for other info. I guess the
question becomes is it considered a CHILD APPEALING product?
Standard:
EN 60065:1998
EN 60065:2002 Sub clause:
- Sheet No.:
02/1
Page 1 of 1
Subject:
Child appealing Multimedia products Key words:
-
Meeting:
OSM/EE - 2002
Item No. 9.1
Question:
Description of situation:
A manufacturer of LCD TVs wants to produce LCD TVs which must be designated as
CHILD APPEALING product.
The LCD TVs will be supplied by an external power supply or a battery pack,
internal higher voltages are generated.
These types of products are excluded from the scope of the Toy Directive.
The manufacturer wants the products to be certified to EN 60065
Is it acceptable to evaluate these products to EN 60065 only?
Decision:
Since the products are clearly Child Appealing we must bear in mind the normal
behaviour of children. Abusing a product is likely to occur; for example,
dropping it on the floor, using it in a way that is not intended.
Beside the EN 60065 we also will cover applicable additional tests (in case
they are more severe than EN 60065 or not covered by EN 60065) according the
following standards:
EN 71 (toy directive)
EN 50088 (safety of electric toys)
The General Product Safety Directive 92/59EEC and the Liability Directive for
defective products 85/374/EEC have also to be taken into account.
An annex to the test report shall show these additional assessments.
Explanatory notes:
A child-appealing-product is a product which is constructed to represent a
model, person or animal such that due to the design and materials used it could
be treated by a child as a toy.

I was asked about this more than a year ago, by one of the leading
manufacturers. I said that it was a very grey area and they should probably
take legal rather than technical advice. I guess that CE marking under the
'toys Directive' is the result.
